Lichen sclerosis- awaiting biopsy results
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi there
I am 25 years of age and have been suffering with pain and itching for years. Recently after years of being told I had thrush a GP examined me and found white lesions on my vulva. I was sent for biopsies due to a suspicion of LS and possible VIN. Now I am so scared for the future and suffering with pain from my biopsy site and the white lesions. I started Clob tonight for the first time which has made it so much more painful down below.
I wonder how I will cope in the future. Any advise welcome
Thankyou
Sophie

Hi Metalpetal when I had my biopsy a few weeks ago I was told to wait a week before using Clob and the first week it was sore but it's better now

Hi Gillian I have given up on the Clob for now. They gave me no advice really just use it twice a day and we will call you with results. They didn't even give me any after care advice about down below. This site has been a life saver in helping me figure out what to do!
I hope your site is much better now xx

Hi Gillian,
good luck with your follow up. I agree we need more information, it shouldn't be left for us to google everything. Having said that I have found great information on here about products to use. The consultants seem to only have a few to hand they recommend. I asked about a yearly check which I'm sure we are supposed to get but they said no, maybe you should press for a follow up as I aren't certain sometimes what changes I should be looking for really. I think they seem so ready to diagnose and discharge us too quickly. X
